take time to blog, since the opera season is really heating up and myriad meetings are in front of me.
Finally, decided on the Aeros games we want to attend at the TC. Still eying the possibilities of short trips to Austin and ? for an opera one night and hockey (and not necessarily Aeros hockey) the other..alas, San Antonio has no opera company.
Now, am gearing up to head to the Houston airports to pick up incoming singers for 'Opera in the Heights' and delivering them to their various hosts' homes where they will stay until the run is over.
Anyone out there reading this, want to volunteer for airport pick ups and drop offs? Let me know ASAP. Opera in the Heights will put on 4 operas this season starting this September , then in November, January and March.
Never been to an opera? Well, get brave and come see one at the OH! in the Heights. All information at operaintheheights.org .. including free events at various locations to lead off the season in September!
Chad Carl who sand Macbeth so ably and dramatically last season will return in the double bill of Il Tabbarro and I pagliacci

And just a small taste of the music of Il Tabarro (Puccini).. not exactly what one would experience at The Oh!.. the stage there is minuscule in comparison, but the immediacy of the singers 'reach out and touch a singer' is so unique!
